Since I love number games, I followed your instructions. Since they boast over 31375 entries, I thought it might be insightful to get a "numbered feeling", and added a few queries...
Probably much overlap, no analysis of pay rates or contract work: but still some surprises for me.

Some searches (access, progress, com+) I didn't mark, since even on the first pages different subcategories could be identified - perhaps I was not stringent enough with the others.

if you find any other key words with high numbers, pls. add
[english is not my native language, I usually don't look into job markets, so my vocabulary might be missing some important keywords ;-) ]

[snipped: a few lines on how those numbers change the reading order / ventures into new areas. I don't wanna start another flame. This is *data*]

But I *do* love numbers: Sometimes I can even refrain from over-analyzing.

One thing for certain: I won't go back to fortran, even if the market is twice as big.
